It was a sunny winter day. I had gone down the tower when a blind man came toward me. He kept close to the wall, touching it lightly with his arm. I stood still and looked at him walking toward the ticket office.
“What does a blind man want to climb up the tower for?" I wondered, "Not the view certainly, perhaps he wants to jump. Thinking of this terrible reason, I thought I should follow him.
He went up slowly and stopped from time to time. I followed him a few steps behind. When he got to the first corner of the bell tower, I approached him. "Excuse me." I said as politely as I could,"but i am very curious to know why you came up.”
“You'd never guess.” he said.
“Not the view, or the fresh air on this winter day?”
“No,” he said.
“Tell me, then.”
He smiled, "Perhaps climbing up the tower, you have noticed--and yet, not being blind, perhaps you won't- how the sun pours into the tower through the windows here and there, so that one can feel the cool steps suddenly become quite warm, even in winter. But behind the wall there is shade. There is no place so good as this for feeling the contrast between light and darkness. Though I'm blind, I also want to feel the happiness brought by the sunlight. In fact it isn't my first time to be here. He said and seemed as pleased as a child.
I had never thought that even a blind man could have his way to enjoy the beautiful life. But we often paid no attention to its value because we never lost it.
We went down the tower together and I left him. From then on I began to treasure what life has given me.
珍惜生活
这是一个晴朗的冬日。我已从塔上下来,这时一个盲人朝我走来。他用手臂轻轻地靠墙摸索着。我静静地站在那儿看着他朝售票处走去。
“这个盲人想爬到塔上去干什么呢?”我好奇地想着,“当然不是看风景,也许他想跳楼。”一想到这个可怕的理由,我觉得我应该跟着他。
他慢慢地上去并时不时地停下来。我隔几步远跟在他身后。当他到达钟塔的第一个拐角处时,我靠近了他。“打扰下,”我尽可能礼貌地说,“但是我很好奇,想知道您为什么要上来。”
“你绝对猜不到。”他说。
“不是为了风景,也不是为了这冬日新鲜的空气吧?”
“不是,”他回答道
“那么,请告诉我吧。“”
他微笑道:“也许爬到塔上来,你已经注意到了—然而,你没有瞎过,也许你永远不会—太阳是怎样通过四面八方的窗户倾泻到这个塔里的角落来,所以即使在冬天,一个人突然之间就感觉凉凉的步子变得十分暖和了,但是在墙的后面有阴影,没有一个地方能和这里一样,好到能够感到光明和黑暗的鲜明对比。虽然我是瞎了,但我也想感受阳光所带来的快乐。事实上,这不是我第一次来这里。”他说得像个孩子似的那样满足。
我从来没有想过即使是一个盲人也能够用他自己的方式来亭受这美丽的生活。但是我们经常忽视生命的价值,那是因为我们从未失去过。
我们一起从塔上下来,之后我离开了他。从那时起,我开始珍惜生活所给予我的一切。
